From Saga 105.7 to Smooth
The 105.7 FM frequency first came to life on 16 October 2001 as Saga 105.7 FM, a regional station aimed at listeners over fifty, which quickly built a loyal audience across the Midlands. After GMG Radio bought the Saga Radio Group in December 2006 and Ofcom approved a change of format, Saga 105.7 closed on 23 March 2007 and Smooth West Midlands first aired on 26 March 2007. Today the station is part of the national Smooth network operated by Global, the group behind Heart, Capital, Classic FM and LBC.
What you will hear
Smooth plays relaxing music from artists such as Lionel Richie, Whitney Houston, Elton John, Simply Red, Adele, Michael Bublé and UB40, the Birmingham band with a string of timeless hits, along with soul classics and gentle songs from the 1970s to today. The breakfast show eases you into the morning, and the rest of the day follows Smooth's calm formula, with love songs and relaxing music in the evenings. Regional news, weather and travel updates cover the M5, M6, M42 and other busy roads around Birmingham and the wider West Midlands.
